10. For Halloween in 2005, Ashley dressed up as Tinkerbell. She's got the bod for it, that's for sure!
9. Her fave sport is hoops because it's the only one she kinda understands. We're guessing she’ll learn a thing or two about football now, too. Correction: We're hoping.
8. She used to be a Ford Model, along with Lindsay Lohan andMischa Barton. In other words, she's a survivor.
7. Her favorite vegetables are tomatoes. Actually, tomatoes fall in the fruit category, but we still love you, Ash!
6. Ashley appeared in the cult sensation Donnie Darko as "Kim, Dorky Girl." Not so dorky anymore, eh? At the time, she was psyched to work with her celebrity crush Jake Gyllenhaal. While we're on the topic, how hot is Jake Gyllenhaal? Yum.
5. Her career took off on the stage, where she starred in such Broadway classics as Les Mis andAnnie.
4. She auditioned for Karen Smith in Mean Girls, but Amanda Seyfried landed the role instead.
3. If she weren't an actress, Ashley said she'd probably be a writer.
2. Her cousin is infomercial star Ron Popeil, inventor of the Showtime Rotisserie — you know, "Set it, and forget it!" (Funny, that's our personal DVR slogan...)
1. In November 2006, the Tis became the first female in history to debut with two songs simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100: "What I've Been Looking For" and "Bop to the Top," both from High School Musical, shot to the top. We're betting on many more firsts for this ambitious little lady — and we'll be cheering her on!
